Year tags

Student ID, where can I order it and when can I pick up a year tag?
Frank is responsible for both delivering the plastic cards and the use of the digital card. You can start using the free digital card by downloading the Frank App onto your phone and creating a user account. The membership fee for the academic term in question must be paid for and updated into the student register before you can use the card.

You can find out more about card options and their prices on the Frank website.

The tag of spring 2020, marked with 9/2020, will remain valid for many student discounts until 30 Sept 2020 (except FSHS until 31 Jul 2020). We will start handing out new year tags at the end of August/in early September at a separate year tag service point. A more detailed schedule will be updated onto the Services Office website later. Year tags are also available from the Student Service Desks and Starting Point of Aalto University within their opening hours.

Nordic CityMaking

Nordic CityMaking is a forum and a movement based in the Nordics connecting citymakers across countries, cities and communities. 

In this first edition of Nordic CityMaking Week we ask ourselves: What is Nordic in our cities? What do we mean with citymaking? And how can we as citymakers create better ways of working and thinking together to make our cities better? 

With the Nordic CityMaking initiative we aim to build sustainable bridges by connecting urban topics to street life, international guests to local stakeholders, thought to action. 

During 15-19 September NCM Week 2020 will host seminars, round table talks as well as numerous site visits. As a conference without walls the event will spread to different neighbourhoods of Helsinki, Vantaa and Espoo and connect the topics to real life developments. Everyone is invited to participate in creating the manifesto for the future of our Nordic cities. 

40+ experts of urbanity from approx. 20 different countries will speak at the conferences and webinars and take part in the workshops of the week. We are happy to announce that Mayor of Vantaa Ritva Viljanen and Mayor of Helsinki Jan Vapaavuori are joining the conversation. See the list of speakers

The program of NCM Week 2020 is curated and produced by Urban Practice. Joining as Hosting Cities are City of Helsinki and City of Vantaa, and as Main Partners KONE and NCC.
